Columbus H. Talley enlisted in Co. B, 24th Arkansas Infantry, at Palestine,
Arkansas on May 12, 1862. This company was raised in Columbia County. About
half the regiment was captured at Arkansas Post January 11, 1863. Those men
not captured were transferred to Hardy's Arkansas Regiment about February 8,
1863. Columbus H. Talley was transferred to Co., B and was marked "present"

regimental records after February 1864. He applied for a Confederate pension
from Navarro County Texas. The pension file number is 24099
and is filed under
C. H. Talley.
Columbus filed for Confederate Soldiers Pension on Aug. 30, 1913 and was
approved on Sept. 1, 1913. The application was filed in Kerens, TX in the
County of Navarro. In the application he states he was 76 years old at the
time he filed and that he was born in Heard Co., GA., and had been living in
TX for about 29 years. He stated he was a farmer. He joined the army in May
of 1862 and was a Second Lieut of Co. "A" Woods Company. He was discharged
after the surrender of Lee at the close of the war. This statement was from
an affidavit signed by H. C. Hanson on June 12, 1913.
In another affidavit by M. J. Talley he states that he had known Columbus all
his life and first knew him in GA., and that he was a Lieutenant under Col.
Hardy in General Thomas J. Churchill's Division and that he was discharged in
1865 in Marshall, TX. He says he served under C. H. Talley after the fall of
Vicksburg. Application for Mortuary Warrant states that Columbus died on April 18, 1923

County of Navarro. Columbus is buried at Emmett Cemetery in the County of
Navarro. The cause of death was Cancer of the right region of the chest.

On April 18, 1923 our brother C. H. Talley was called by death to
give up this life after a sojourn here of 86 years. He was born in Georgia
Jan 18, 1837 and moved to Columbia County AR. at an early age. Served in
Southern Army three years as first lieutenant. Joined the Missionary Baptist

one of His dear children from our midst to the place of His watchful care and
keeping till the resurrection. And whereas we bow in humble submission to Him,
who doeth all things well, therefore be it resolved that the Prairie Grove
Baptist Church has lost a true and upright member and here by extend our
sincere sympathy to his loved ones and that a copy of these resolutions be
sent to his children and a copy be sent to the Baptist Progress.

Obituaries for
Naomi Pearl (Talley) Cole
Lubbock Woman Buried at Emmett
Mrs. Naomi Cole, wife of Claude Cole, former residents of the Frost
vicinity, died at Lubbock Thursday and the funeral was held at Emmett
Saturday where interment was made, Mrs. Cole was reared in the Emmett
community.
Surviving are her husband, several children, and other relatives.
Notes:
-----
Mrs. C. E. Cole
It is with sorrow that the Hustler chronicles the death of Mrs. C. E. Cole, who
died in a Lubbock Sanitarium last Thursday night following which was the last
of a series of eight operations. Mrs. Cole had been suffering for several
years, and one operation after another was performed in the hope that her
health might be restored, but all that medical science and the hands of
skilled surgeons could do was of no avail.
She ran the journey of her life in thirty-six years. It is a path marked with
deeds of kindness and cheer. Flowers not thorns, sunshine not shadow did she
scatter everywhere. H these she was lavish. Truth was the inspiration of her
life and by kindness she exemplified it great worth. Was hot her life full of
Godlikeness.
Funeral services were held from Rex Funeral Home in Lubbock at 3:00 Friday
afternoon, with Rev. W. P. McBeth, her local pastor of the Baptist Church
delivering the funeral oration, following her body will be carried to Irene,
Texas her old home, where interment was made.
The Hustler, together with the entire citizenship of Ropes extends heartfelt
and sincere sympathy to the bereaved relatives. Notes: |
